Prologue

Living there for four years, Akane had a feeling she would find Yu where he is and approaches to ask him why he is not with Mika. Questioning whether they had another fight then if Yu wants to talk about it, Akane moves closer when told not to sit so close, asking why not since they are family. Assuring Yu he does have one, it is the case since everyone at the Hyakuya orphanage is one big family and it is true because the director said so. Akane directs them to get going, dinner is almost ready and she says everyone is waiting on Mr Moody, Yu.[5]

Later Akane is preparing curry and tells Yu that she was almost going to faint when Mika brought it to her and she is so excited never having a chance to cook a feast like this before. Saying they should thank Mika for the ingredients Akane states that she would do her best to make use of them, as they hardly got to eat such treats.[6] Sitting at the head of the table Akane cheerfully has no choice but to settle the matter at hand by officially declaring today as everyone's birthday. She also decrees that Taichi can give up the rest of his curry after he eats someone else's before joining in the laughter. After dinner, she is sleeping before waking to join Yu below, Akane says hi to Mika who was discussing their escape plan. Noticing that Yu ate, she asks what he thought of the curry and is told by Mika to wake up the others since they are to leave the city.

Akane, along with Yu and Mika and the other orphans made their way to the entrance gate; however Ferid Bathory appears and reveals it was a cruel trap set for them. Seeing Ako being murdered by the vampire noble, Akane holds onto Taichi as Ferid speaks. Ordered by Yu to run for the exit, Akane finds her path blocked by Ferid who has already slaughtered the orphans. Akane is slashed by his hand.[7] Yu is the only one who manages to get away and swears that he would avenge them. Akane is remembered by Yu when they were discussing how they were all one family. She appears alongside the others when Mika is speaking to Yu four years later.[8]

When Yu is attempting to form a contract with the black demon Asuramaru to gain a cursed gear weapon, Akane is used in the illusion. Asuramaru speaks as Akane to tell Yu that to get their strength he will have to give himself over and succumb to his desire for vengeance. She joins the illusion of Mika to say Yu cannot just abandon his family, and communicates that they worship desire and cannot stand love. Akane is used to guilt Yu with the notion he left them behind and has now moved on. Going to school, training and making new friends, the illusion states Yu has almost managed to completely forget about them.[9]
